Mitt Romney takes on foreign policy

I have one item to ad to the article below.
On the subject of Latin
America Romney’s foreign policy web site says;

Decades of remarkable progress in Latin
America toward security, democracy, and increased economic ties with America are
currently under threat. Venezuela
and Cuba are leading a
virulently anti-American “Bolivarian” movement across Latin
America that seeks to undermine institutions of democratic
governance and economic opportunity. The Bolivarian movement threatens U.S.
allies such as Colombia, has interfered with regional cooperation on key issues
such as illicit drugs and counterterrorism, has provided safe haven for drug
traffickers, has encouraged regional terrorist organizations, and has even
invited Iran and foreign terrorist organizations like Hezbollah into the region.

While Latin America has taken a back seat
to events in the Middle-east, Columbia is still
one of the largest recipients of US foreign military aid in the
world.

Romney’s claim that the mostly left-of-center
nationalist leaders, such as BolivianPresident EvoMorales who have been
elected to office, harbours Iranianand orHezbollah terrorist
groups is ridiculous. There is no evidence of this. He needs to provide it in
order to make such a claim.

The name “An American Century” was used by conservative
groups, around the turn of the century, who envisioned regime change across the
Middle-east, with pro-US political and economical governments. Romney probably
plans to go with that theme if he is elected. Obama is actually following that
same plan.

He seems to want to promote “An American
Century” in Latin America as well. That will
require a lot of resources. So the budget and the deficit will get bigger. in Latin America voters have overwhelmingly rejected that
concept. The changes on that continent have reflected a people who want to
control their own resources and are tired of being nothing more than US property.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is
expected to focus onforeign
policyat tonight’s
debate. Lately he has been critical of President Barack Obama’s handling of Iran and the four killings at the US Embassy in Libya.

The truth is that Obama’s foreign policy is very hawkish and
imperialist, so most of Romney’s arguments are just splitting hears over minor
details.

On his own web site he labelled“An American Century”he
chastised the president for not modernizing the army. But most of his
information seems outdated. The US
military has been using high tech equipment in Afghanistan
and the president has used predatory drones to kill perceived enemies of the US government
all over the Middle-east.
He criticized Obama’s pulling out of Iraq. That is old hat and most
people welcomed the with-drawl.

Israel is the United States’ closest ally in the Middle East and a beacon of democracy and freedom in the
region. The tumult in the Middle East has heightened Israel’s security problems. Indeed,
this is an especially dangerous moment for the Jewish state. It has
deteriorating relationships with Turkey
and Egypt.
It faces longstanding dangers from Hamas in Gaza,
Hezbollah in Lebanon…

Actually, Israel
is a theocracy, a state that favors the Jewish religion over all others. Jews
from around the world can move there, but any Arabs, Palestinians or Moslems
who try to live there will find discrimination, if they are allowed to live
there at all. The site also said.

He(Romney)will make clear to the Palestinians that the unilateral attempt to
decide issues that are designated for final negotiations by theOslo Accordsis unacceptable. The United States
will reduce assistance to the Palestinians if they continue to pursue United
Nations recognition or form a unity government that includes Hamas, a terrorist
group dedicated to Israel’s
destruction.

Besides arguing about nothing, Romney has already implied that
he will be is insensitive to other cultures and wants the US to be an
outright bully. At best his policies, especially in Israel
and Iran,
are reckless.

The cost of maintaining US Imperialism is high!

No other country in the world puts as much of its budget into the military as the US. This country is the top imperialist power in the world today and that is costing us a lot of resources that are badly needed elsewhere.
